Stoked I got the book. KONG is a LEGEND and a nice bloke I liked Gary Elkerton surfing in the 80's
DW, you've started me now.
He's only my fav surfer of all time. Richard Cram surfed at my local in the 80's and he ran a close 2nd fav (hates a roundhouse).
As a teenager growing up surfing Performers and Mad Wax is all I watched.
I guess we are still living in the 80's - that's cool, fond memories.
This is better.
Can't beat Rose Tattoo.
I noticed those Quicky's have made a comeback in surfshops now (shorter).
I had to check twice of which forum I was in,no shark topic's so this is not the SB room
i was given the book for christmas, well worth reading and I got throught it in a couple of days.
Im reading it ATM and really love his "Get to it" style. Top read and great surfer..
The level of drugs is simply crazy
Like entering a final so stoned he just lay there for the first half of the heat...
Yeah good read , king kong of the bong! He's dad sounds like a legend in the book. Ill bet he's glad he got out of the boys school , just in time!
